The HubSpot Product team is made up of over 1200 engineers, designers, product managers, and researchers. We're passionate about building tools that help small and medium-sized businesses market, sell, and serve their customers - and ultimately, grow better.

Those tools end up in the HubSpot application platform, which itself is made up of thousands of services, workers, and jobs spanning over 170 teams and thousands of repos. Our teams work autonomously to deploy these systems across a common infrastructure, up to 3,000 times a day.

HubSpot's Platform-as-a-Service ("PaaS") backend software development team is charged with making the developer experience at HubSpot world-class. The Edge team focuses on managing the load balancing layer to make it easy and frictionless for our teams to receive traffic from our customers. We're responsible for everything after a request leaves a customer's computer, from managing the CDN to operating our own open-source load balancer orchestration system ( Baragon ). Along the way we help mitigate DDoS attacks, handle high traffic periods (think Black Friday), and reduce the average latency to load the HubSpot app.
